SUGARfx MagiMoto is a free animation plugin for After Effects, Final Cut Pro and Motion that moves, spins, scales and wiggles elements without using keyframes, and can create slide shows and transitions.
Developed by SUGARfx (FxFactory).

About SUGARfx MagiMoto
SUGARfx MagiMoto adds animation controls directly to the editing timeline, allowing elements to be thrown, spun, scaled or given a subtle wiggle without keyframes. Users can run single actions or combine them into more complex motions in real time. The plugin can also generate slide shows from folders of still images or video files and create custom transitions. Setups can be saved as presets and shared with other users. On-screen feedback shows how elements synchronize while adjustments are made. MagiMoto runs through Noise Industries FxFactory, which is available as a free download; a paid FxFactory Pro version shares the same system requirements. The plugin is compatible with After Effects, Final Cut Pro and Motion.
